Adoption the growing problem in America
Adoption, there are 72.3 million children in the US, 18 and under. 34% of them live in single parent families. That's 27.5 million children floating at, or below, the poverty level. 13 million of those children have no parents at all. This is a growing problem not only in the US but around the world. <em><strong>There is a simple solution though, it's through adoption!</strong></em>
Adoption is a gift not only for the child but for the parents too. Usually, "want-a-be parents" that are having problems bringing into the world a child of their own, start looking into other options. But just think how wonderful it would be to open your house up to a child and the world of opportunities that you can open up for them. Imagine what sights they can and will open your eyes to. Yes, indeed having a child is a life fulfilling experience.
I was adopted and I have to tell you that for me was very special event. I have often wondered what it would have been like had I not. That too could have happened; it didn't happen for me until I was 11 months old.
One of the toughest challenges as a parent of an adopted child, is tell my child that <em>"You're adopted!"</em> Many parents struggle with the thought sometimes for years and then tell their child. I tend to think that is a mistake to wait too long to tell them. I was told very young and in way that I think was unique, at least it was special to me. I have remembered it throughout my entire life.
During my childhood I was known to tell a good story or two! If there was something to bump into, I sure did do that too. One day after becoming ill with Dementia and having the markers for Alzheimer's disease I awoke and was able to write! I have no idea where it comes from and I sure wouldn't dare question it. I hope that you enjoy what it is that I have written and that it helps you to learn, cherish and appreciate the smaller things that life has to offer.
Writing children's stories for ages 2 to 9 is my favorite form of enjoyment. What a amazing time it is when you are but a child. Feeling the rug under your feet while you take your first steps and your eyes light up with pride because you just done did it! Seeing the look on your mother and father's faces, they're so full of pride for you and what you're doing. The exploring, the discoveries that we all make and have at that age; it amazes me. All the questions we ask of our Mom and Dads "Mommy, why?" "Daddy, what is that?" and followed up with yet another question "How come?" and the list comes pouring out of our mouths Making friends for the first time or your very first pet; these are the things that I write about.
Eventually, I wrote a children's book about being adopted and special way that I was told. The book is near to my heart. The book is titled "The Green Book" for the adopted child. The book explains what you are being adopted. I know what it's like and how my parents struggled with the thought of telling me; what could be the outcome? <strong>The book on adoption has received some thrilling reviews from parents.</strong> author Robert L Ruisi
